Welcome Brave Kids everywhere!
About Sue Ernst
I grew up in Mill Valley, California. Childhood was a dream back then. My sister and I were free to run in the hills behind our house. Our Mom had to call us in with a cow bell! To this day, the fragrance of Lupine, or the soft silky petal of a Poppy will transport me to those happy days and the love I had for reading children’s books! That love of books followed me into motherhood and grandmotherhood. It is no surprise that my two daughters grew up to be avid readers and one founded her own book publishing company!

Brave Kids: Short Stories to Inspire Our Future World Changers
To the kids who dare to brave our modern-day world:
Brave Kids: Short Stories to Inspire our Future World-Changers , K.J. Kaschula, Lead Author, is your survival guide to brave the 21st century.
Each story is uniquely crafted to inspire hope and change for a better world for humans, animals, and the Earth we live upon.
Being brave doesn’t mean you wear a suit of iron or a magnificent cape. It does not mean you were gifted with magical powers, and it does not mean that you aspire to be or work in a profession which saves lives.
Being brave, really being brave. . .
. . .is believing in yourself. It’s asking for help when you need it. It’s standing up to that monstrous bully and helping them be better and kinder. It’s looking into the eyes of grief, taking its hand and riding the waves of change. It’s breathing through monkey brain when the world becomes chaotic, and it’s getting closer to nature by stepping just outside of your front door.
But sometimes we don’t know how to do all of those things.
Sometimes we just forget.
Sometimes we need a little help and guidance through stories that act as our survival guide, providing us with the information we need to become a brave kid.
This is a book full of those kinds of stories.
Brave Kids (Vol 1) is available for sale on Audio book, voiced by the wonderful Amanda Becker and can be found on Audible.

Remember when? “What time is it Mom?” “It’s two minutes later than the last time you asked me!” Mom calls from somewhere in the house. Dad lets out a chuckle from the living room where he sits reading the newspaper. “HE’S COMING DOWN THE DRIVEWAY! I CAN HEAR HIS...
